Chapter 126 Yunfeng Building Branch
After the sound of firecrackers to greet the lion dance team, rhythmic drum beats were heard. On the street outside the gate of Yunfeng Tower, the lion dance team began their performance, attracting people to stop and watch.
The innermost circle was filled with happy children, staring intently.
Wulang and Erniu were lying by the window, watching with great interest. Living in the countryside, the brother and sister seldom saw such a lively scene, and they were happy and excited to see the lion dance performance today.
After a lion dance performance, a row of waiters carrying trays came out of the Yunfeng Building and distributed dried fruits and cakes to the onlookers and children.
The lively atmosphere on the scene reached another climax. The onlookers, especially the children, all had smiles on their faces and kept stretching out their little hands to ask the waiters for dried fruits and cakes.
Wulang and Erniu were looking at the scene with envy at the window, when they heard someone knocking on the door of the private room.
"Mr. Ye, the boss invites you to join the money-scattering ceremony."
Then a waiter pushed open the door of the private room and spoke politely to Ye Changyan.
"Let's go and take a look together."
Ye Changyan said to Wulang and Erniu, then turned to look at Liang Jingcheng beside him. Seeing that he looked excited, he gave him an inquiring look, and saw Liang Jingcheng hurriedly stood up.
When Mr. Cai saw this, he smiled and nodded, and then he saw a group of four people walking out of the private room.
Led by the waiter, Ye Changyan and his party came to the window on the second floor facing the street, and saw Zhong Yunfeng greeting several people enthusiastically. Ye Changyan saw Zhong Dingyi and some well-dressed guests standing by the window. Ye Changyan simply greeted these people and then stood by the window.
Ye Changyan leaned out of the window and saw red silk flowers tied on the outer wall next to the window. Behind the red silk flowers was a red ribbon covering the sign of Yunfeng Tower.
Wulang and Erniu also squeezed in front of Ye Changyan and looked downstairs. Liang Jingcheng stood behind Ye Changyan and also stretched his neck to look down.
I saw the people downstairs chasing after the guy who was distributing cakes and nuts.
The lion dance team that had finished their performance downstairs saw Zhong Yunfeng standing by the window on the second floor and signaled to them. The lion dance team then started beating the drums again in a rhythmic manner, followed by the sound of gongs and cymbals in time with the drums.
Hearing the drumbeats, the people watching downstairs knew that the main event was about to begin, and they all looked upstairs. The guys distributing cakes and dried fruits also retreated back to Yunfeng Tower.
On the second floor, Zhong Yunfeng, Zhong Dingyi, Ye Changyan and other distinguished guests grabbed a corner of the red ribbon covering the sign. Accompanied by a deafening drumbeat, everyone unveiled the red ribbon together.
As the red silk cloth was unveiled, the sound of intensive firecrackers rang out, and the signboard of Yunfeng Tower was officially unveiled.
The people watching downstairs cheered, applauded and cheered.
As soon as the sound of firecrackers stopped, a waiter came to Ye Changyan and others with a tray full of copper coins.
"Who will be the first one to spread the seeds?"
Zhong Yunfeng asked everyone with a beaming look on his face, and Wu Lang shouted excitedly.
"I me me!"
Everyone at the scene burst into laughter, and finally, at Ye Changyan's suggestion, an elder of the Zhong family and Wu Lang scattered the first handful of money together, implying that it was suitable for all ages and would bring in a lot of money.
Everyone agreed, and Wu Lang excitedly grabbed a handful of copper coins and threw them downstairs together with the elders of the Zhong family.
This immediately caused a scramble downstairs, and accompanied by the cheerful sound of gongs and drums, waves of copper coins were thrown to the crowd downstairs.
Liang Jingcheng stood aside and watched with great interest. Seeing this, Ye Changyan grabbed a handful of copper coins with his left hand, pulled Liang Jingcheng's hand with his right hand, and stuffed the copper coins into Liang Jingcheng's hand while Liang Jingcheng was surprised. Then Ye Changyan grabbed another handful of copper coins.
Ye Changyan cast a look at Liang Jingcheng, and the two of them threw the copper coins in their hands to a less densely populated area downstairs, which immediately caused the people in that area to cheer and scramble for the coins.
When Erniu next to her saw this, she burst into laughter, grabbed a handful of copper coins and threw them toward the area.
After the money-scattering ceremony, the opening ceremony of Yunfenglou officially came to an end, and a crowd of long-awaited diners swarmed in downstairs.
When the people standing by the windows on the second floor saw this, they couldn't suppress smiles on their faces, especially Wulang and Erniu who were having a great time.
With the end of the opening ceremony, Yunfenglou officially began its business. The waiters got busy, each of them with an excited look on their faces, but they were busy in an orderly manner and not chaotic.
Ye Changyan looked at the situation at the scene, nodded with satisfaction, and then took his sister-in-law and Liang Jingcheng back to the private room.
At this time, on the stage in the first floor hall, Zhong Yunfeng clapped his hands vigorously, signaling the crowd to be quiet, and then he spoke.
"Today, the Yuzhou branch of Yunfenglou is opening. Thanks to everyone's support, we will offer a 20% discount for the first three days of the opening, and each table will receive a candy snack."
As soon as Zhong Yunfeng finished speaking, warm applause broke out, accompanied by cheers and applause from everyone.
"In addition, after Laba Festival, we will post a menu of takeaway dishes on the bulletin board outside the Yunfeng Building. The daily supply is limited and can be pre-ordered in advance. As long as the orders are sold out, we will deliver to your house for free within Yuzhou Prefecture."
Many people know that Yunfenglou in Wanshou County has delivery services. It is very popular locally and one has to make a reservation a long time in advance to get a table. Everyone became interested in the delivery services at Yunfenglou.
"Like Wanshou County, our delivery dishes are all our specialty dishes, including many of our latest beef dishes. At the beginning of each month, we will also update our delivery dishes. When the delivery dishes are removed from the delivery menu, they will be served in the store."
When the people in the building heard that there were beef dishes, they all talked about it and the scene became a little noisy. Zhong Yunfeng signaled for everyone to be quiet, and then he briefly explained that he had opened a cattle farm and obtained the approval from the government to slaughter cattle.
The crowd at the scene became even more noisy. The Dasheng Dynasty had extremely strict control over cattle and horses, and this beef was rare to eat, so it aroused great interest among everyone.
"Due to the limited supply of beef at present, we welcome new and old friends to make reservations in advance."
While Zhong Yunfeng was speaking, the waiters had already delivered candies and snacks to each table. Seeing this, Zhong Yunfeng continued.
"Also, I would like to recommend the candies in front of you."
As he spoke, Zhong Yunfeng gestured to everyone, and some people then noticed the candies and snacks that had been placed on the table.
"This candy is made from fresh milk squeezed from the Wanshou County cattle farm. You can taste it. As the New Year is approaching, if you like it, you can prepare some for the New Year. Tomorrow, these candies will be displayed on the counters of all Zhong's stores in Yuzhou City."
